38. One of the things
that I got from the Teach-In on Impeachment was that most progressive democrats see the value in decentralizing the democratic party. Progressives are more likely to value grass roots values and efforts. Progressives believe in the concept of one person, one vote, and all that this implies. The conservative democrats want a centralized authority. By no small coincidence, they think it is only proper that the conservative democrats exercise that authority. When we look at many of the on-going disagreements on DU, as well as within the democratic ranks, it comes down to that simple difference.
